Dress Code

The Institute for Dance enforces a mandatory dress code for each class division. We strongly believe that this will promote discipline and proper classroom etiquette. Any student not following the dress code will be asked to sit out and observe the class.

All hair must be pulled back away from the face. A bun is required for all ballet classes.

No jewelry is permitted.

Dance shoes are not to be worn outside of the studios or on any surface other than appropriate dance floors – please do not wear on pavement or concrete. This preserves the life of your dancer’s shoes as well as our dance floors.

Appropriate attire should be worn to and from the studio, as well – dancewear should be covered.

FEMALE DANCERS

In addition to the required uniform below, we recommend sports bras be worn under dance apparel that does not have a built-in support.

MALE DANCERS

Black pants or shorts, white or iDance t-shirt, and black shoes in the style of whatever dance type you are taking (i.e. tap, jazz or ballet). We recommend dance belts for our pre-teen and teenage boys; like a jock strap, this is for the health and safety of our dancers.
